Brown, who has trailed his Democratic challenger in most recent polls, has turned attacking Warren for claiming Native American heritage into one of the centerpieces of his campaign, attacking her on the topic in both of the race’s debates and releasing two television ads.

Birthers are people who falsely believe President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States.

This man is not qualified to comment on anything. Took 4 tries to pass the MA Bar exam. He was harvard education - Harvard Law school that is - and still couldn't pass the MA bar exam?? Tells you something about his mental capacity.

Liz Warren checked a box to advance her career. Patrick as a beneficiary of those same boxes should be upset that Liz Warren took a position that was actually set aside for an under priveledged minority. Liz is a liar. Patrick is a moron (as can be shown by failing the bar 3 times after a Harvard education).

This article does not deserve commenting - it does not deserve publication. Warren and Patrick are both embarrassments.

The Boston Globe did some checking and found some Cherokee and Delaware ancestry. From what I've read, it is quite common for most Kansans.

Actually Sharp77 - or maybe not that sharp, the Globe (boston.com) actually printed a correction showing that there really was no identification of cherokee or delaware - they based their original assessment off a family newsletter from 2002!

Deval carrying the 'liberal' water by using liberal-created slang to denigrate a Republican candidate. It is all they have since liberals have lost the policy debate. Typical response by a political weakling from his weak position. Deval has soiled the MA governorship that Romney occupied.

Gov. Patrick is the last person to talk about Sen. Brown. Patrick played the race card and received a large settlemrnt from Coca-Cola. By the way Duval, how is your book doing? One has to scroll to the bottom of the Amazon booklist to find it.

BERKSHIRES VACATION HOME -- The Patricks are building a 24-room, 10,000-square foot mansion on 77 acres in Richmond, a rural town drawing affluent second-home buyers. They are carrying mortgages of $4.6 million on the Richmond house and 14 acres adjacent to it.

LOL. Just love all the bitter, nasty comments on this thread. Could it be because Warren is consistently leading in the polls now and Brown's smear campaign has actually started to backfire on him? Brown is running out of endorsements and is now reduced to trotting out has-beens like Bill Weld and a bunch of retired athletic supporters. He's even having trouble finding enough people to hold the signs at his events. Check out the pix of Brown surrounded by signage propped up against the walls. Warren, on the other hand, is drawing large, enthusiastic crowds and one high-profile endorsement after another. Have a nice day, wherever y'all live. It's beautiful up here in the Commonwealth today.

Governor Patrick should look at the facts before he makes claims like that. When Donald Trump was trying to orchestrate the pitiful birther campaign against President Obama, Senator Scott Brown denounced Trump's actions. Senator Brown stated that Mr. Trump needed to drop the terrible tactic if Mr. Trump wanted to be taken seriously as a potential Republican presidential candidate (and in no way did Senator Brown make any indication that he would ever endorse Mr. Trump). So, the birther mural that Governor Patrick is painting contradicts reality. In addition, Scott Brown's criticism towards Elizabeth Warren on the issue of heritage has been with regards to her refusal to release her records. Now, before people cry racism, keep in mind that it was Elizabeth Warren who labeled Native Americans as having "high cheek bones." That sounds like a generalization to me. It's a bit shameful from a Harvard professor, don't you think?

Elizabeth Warren has made the claim that she is part Indian. The only reason that she would use that ethnicity on various forms and documents would be to gain an affirmative action edge. The problem with this claim is that Ms. Warren has no documentation to back it up, and she has admitted as much. Deval Patrick seems to forget that there were documents in Barack Obama's case. If he wants to claim that Scott Brown is a Bay State Birther, Deval Patrick should ask Warren to produce some documentation. Also, how are problems going to be managed in Massachusetts by a woman who is into casual lying as well as questions revolving around her work with LTV Steel which sought to avoid its pension obligations to its employees.

Character is something Democrats like Deval really don't have an interest in. Fix the roads around his mansion before a major fund raiser, fraudulent claims to make employment applications look better and inflate the numbers for anyone who hired her have her Harvard office handle outside work that her assumed titles would imply that he is a working lawyer. Too much bother for this busy 1%er.

Deval is looking for a federal appointment for which he need not be qualified or that will not take much effort. Like many an Obama toady he will probably get one. Democrats in MA have learned how to work the system even after conviction.

Anyone who believes the Boston Globe NYT sycophants would like some Kansas City oceanfront property. Warren's an opportunist liar and eveyone with a brain knows it, which excludes the Globe and its readers of course. I'm a Kansan and if you knew anything about us you'd know demographics are far more complex than your simplistic delusions so typical for deranged Dems.

I realize that for some people all those "fly-over" states morph into one, but Warren is from Oklahoma, not Kansas. Warren has no family claim to the Cherokee Nation nor Delaware Tribe. Cherokee genealogist, Twila Barnes, researched her family history, both maternal (from which the false claim of Native ancestry was created) and paternal to ensure that there was no American Indian heritage. And, for those who are so uninformed about American Indian records, especially the Five Civilized Tribes, that they believe a dearth of documentation might mean tracing lineage is impossible: sorry, you are wrong. There is a wealth of information dating to the early 19th Century to verify Native blood. Anyone from Oklahoma (including Warren) knows that enrollment is required to claim American Indian preference or define yourself as such. The handwritten notation on a great-uncle's marriage application in no way gives her claim authenticity. (In fact. many non-Indians during that period attempted to "create" links to Native heritage in order to cash-in on benefits provided through the Dawes Commission Enrollments.) However, rather than admitting that she has no right to claim a heritage for which none of her ancestors suffered, Warren continues to pretend she is. With the genealogical proof provided her, she is either continuing to lie or she is a fool.
